Description by Colby Digital(from Google Play)
NFC Quick Settings is a simple, open source, utility for quickly checking the device's current NFC status, and enabling or disabling NFC with as few taps as possible.
NFC Quick Settings has no user interface of it's own. Instead, once installed, you will see a new "NFC" tile available when customising your Quick Settings menu. See "Add, remove, or move a setting" in Android Help for more information on customising the Quick Settings menu: https://support.google.com/android/answer/9083864?hl=en#customize_settings
Once the NFC Quick Settings tile has been added to your Quick Settings menu, the tile will show the current NFC status.
Android security limitations do not allow any third-party apps, such as this, to turn NFC on or off directly, so when tapped, the NFC Quick Settings tile will simply open the device's NFC Settings page (if the device has one), where you can enable or disable NFC as desired.
NFC Quick Settings also has an advanced mode that allows NFC to be toggled directly from the tile, without having to go into the NFC Settings page. But this advanced mode requires special permissions, which can only be granted via the Android Debug Bridge on a desktop computer. You can read more about this mode at https://github.com/pcolby/nfc-quick-settings?tab=readme-ov-file#advanced-mode
NFC Quick Settings is freely available under the GPLv3 open source license. The source code is available at https://github.com/pcolby/nfc-quick-settings

Serves the purpose on Stock Android phones, successfully switching NFC On/off from quick settings toggle.
★★★★★Ian Henson· Jul 27, 2025
Great - scroll down to quick settings and click once brings you to turn on NFC rather than clicking on 4 times to get to turn on NFC, cannot believe Google have not got the NFC tile like in my previous phones, OPPO and HUAWEI.
★★★★★Damian Białko· Jan 9, 2024
Having instant preview of nfc status and quick navigation to toggle it is a perfect alternative for missing option on Pixel
★★★★★Star Shine· Dec 31, 2025
I needed a shortcut to turn NFC on or off on my phone and this adds one to quick settings. Exactly what I needed
★☆☆☆☆Bill Froelich· Jul 4, 2026
Doesn't work on my Pixel 10 Pro XL running Android 16. I see the tile in the list, but it isn't allowed to be added to the panel like other third party apps. Too bad because it seems like what I was looking for since Google took it away
★☆☆☆☆Pud· Sep 14, 2025
Just a link to the settings not an actual toggle
★☆☆☆☆Tariq Khan-Kiyani· Jul 12, 2024
I cannot see the purpose of this app. 1, it doesn't appear in the app draw. 2, there doesn't seem to be any functional purpose. Seems very dubious. Uninstalled.
★★☆☆☆Zoots· Aug 2, 2025
When it works, it's great-does what it's supposed to, but sometimes hitting the tile takes me to the app info page where I can only turn off or delete, so I delete and reinstall, and it works great, for a while...
